How The Yoga Site works

The Yoga Site is a yoga network that brings all the yoga schools and yoga students together in one place. Use The Yoga Site to build a school or find a class or event to attend. With great content like Yoga People and The People Behind the Retreats, there’s always something to find on The Yoga Site.

First step? Sign up or Login - You can find these links at the very top of every page.

What Next? Completely fill out your The Yoga Site profile! This will be a reflection of you: your name, yoga practice, a bit about yourself and what’s important to you. Having a complete profile is the best way to connect with people – whether you're a teacher or a student. It can build trust and make for better experiences. Be sure to include photos.

Go into your greeting in the navigation bar ('Hi Elaine C') and select 'Your Profile' from the list (It is first on the list).

You can complete your profile (if you haven't done so already) by entering the required details. You will be required to fill out fields like name, age and style (what's your yoga style? e.g. Ashtanga).

You can also add a photo or change your photo by clicking on the 'Browse file' field under the photo area. You can then chose your image from the pop-up window. Simply select the image you want, and press the 'Upload' button under the photo area. If it says 'Invalid Image', you will have to resize your image before it will allow you to upload it - don't give up, it will be worth it in the end.

Once your image is uploaded, you will have to crop your image - simply grab the coloured area around until you are happy with what you want kept in the picture and then press 'Crop'.

It's important to verify yourself too. You can do this by cutting & pasting your yoga school's url and your social network's url into the fields provided. The more you can tell people about yourself the more likely people are to book with you.

Be sure to click 'Save my Profile' after you have everything filled out for your profile.

Once you’ve explored the site and feel you want to be part of it, consider making your event available to other yogis.

To get started, click on the 'Create/An Event' button in the upper right-hand side of the Home Page. You will always find this button in this area on every page.

Create your Event by entering the required details. It will require an event title, the location of your event, a description of your event, photos and whether your event is visible (it can be seen now) or invisible (it can't be seen). When you type a location, a map will load with to show the area the event is taking place. The address associated with the event will be whatever you typed in.

Make sure to look in the top right corner to enter the date, time and cost of your event. Below that you will see a mini version of your profile you created. You can update the text visible there and it will save when you save your event, saving the changes to your original profile too.

In the Overview area further down the page you can fill in your event description. This can be anything of importance you think those attending your event might need to know. Here you can also drop on the url of your social networks to help verify yourself to others. The more information you can fill in on your event page the more likely people will rent off you, so don't hold back!

In the Create Tickets section, under Settings, you first choose to "apply one capacity for all ticket options" or "apply individual capacities for each ticket option". If you are unsure leave as default "Apply one capacity for all ticket options".

Now choose your ticket capacity (how many can attend).

If you want to add a group discount to your tickets, click on the Group Discount tab and click on "New Group Discount" button. Enter the quantity of tickets at which the discount will be applied and then add the percentage. For example, if you'd like to give a discount of 10% if someone books 10 tickets, simply add 10 under quatity and and 10 under Discount.

If you'd like to create a discount Code, simply click on the Discount Code tab and click on "New Discount Ticket". Then enter your discount code, eg. YOGANOW, the percentage discount that will be applied under discount, eg. 10 (for 10%) and Validity dates for the Start Date and End Date (This is the timeframe for which the discount will apply).
